this episode of Android Q&A is brought to you by domain.com so are you having issues with the giant phablet the Nexus 6 well we got the top six solutions for six common problems so here we go now to kick it off let's talk about random rebooting here are the potential solutions corrupt or fragmented data and your phone could be causing an issue back up any important data and perform a factory reset disable active notifications this is sometimes helpful you can also disable the primary messenger application and try using hangouts instead enable Google Play services and GPS high-accuracy you can also make sure your device is fully charged and lastly wipe the cache a partition on your phone as this can remove any fragmented data and number two is what's going on with the Bluetooth connection here you want to start by turning the Bluetooth on your device on and off again if the problem continues clear the cache a for Bluetooth by first going to Settings apps all Bluetooth share and then clear cache a you can also go to Bluetooth share and tap clear data you also want to restart the phone after clearing the data and cache a if this doesn't work try booting the phone into safe mode now some of you may be suffering from abnormal battery drain here's how to deal with that third-party applications could be causing excess battery drain so disable any power heavy applications that are running in the background unless they are frequently being used you also want to ensure that all applications are updated to the latest version try uninstalling power-hungry applications one by one to see if the problem can be isolated turn off vibrations and reduce screen brightness if possible try rebooting the device with all third-party applications uninstalled or a factory reset this should help clear out any damaged files in your data now let's talk cloud print errors and forced closings here is where you want to update your Cloud Print application and ensure that the device is fully up to date then go to settings apps all then cloud print and select both clear cache a clear data a tempter factory reset to get rid of any fragmented data now if your screen isn't bright enough in the sunlight try this first go to settings then device then display and change your settings you should be able to alter the brightness of auto brightness on your device you also want to try turning on adaptive brightness to automatically optimize the level of brightness on your phone screen in regards to the light around you this setting is generally on as default and still allows for brightness settings to be altered when needed now many Nexus 6 owners suffer from slow charging and if that's you you want to try this now if the phone is charging slowly you want to disable all unwanted applications press the back button twice when exiting an application instead of simply tapping home this closes the app from the background and prevents the excessive drain of power you also don't want to play games when the Nexus 6 is charging as this requires extra processing power you also want to check the charger cable and make sure that it's working by attempting to charge using another table or charging a different device with the same cable and see if you have the same problem try charging through direct connection to a laptop or a computer see if that helps a malfunctioning app could be causing the problem try booting the phone and safe mode and see if it charges faster if so perform a factory reset and reinstall apps selectively to isolate which app is the culprit now this is by no means a full comprehensive list of all the possible problems Nexus 6 owners could have but if you do have a problem put them in the comments below or in the forums at
